Fantasmagorias do tempo: apagamento da memória e invenção da história no espaço brasileiro
The essay seeks to recover the many silences and recurrent omissions that cross the Brazilian history, mainly referring to the masterful recapitulation of the historiographical theories presented in the Paul Ricœur’s book L’histoire, la mémoire, l’oubli. In fact the connection between memory and forgetfulness, on which much of contemporary historiography depends, leads us to think of Brazilian time in its inconsequence or its untimeliness, justifying the proposal advanced by Raul Antelo of the history of Brazil as a possible “genealogy of emptiness”.
